AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances operational continuity by reducing downtime and resource costs, allowing for efficient switchover and failover processes while maintaining service availability and minimizing complications during primary service transitions.

Problems solved by technology

Conventional configurations of Microsoft® SharePoint™ may be challenged to meet high availability standards for a variety of reasons.
For example, conventional configurations of servers providing redundancy involve a one-to-one standby server to online server set up that is costly in terms of hardware, bandwidth, and / or other resources.
As another example, a server farm configuration database for a server farm serving the server application distributed by Microsoft® SharePoint™ may not be readily accessible to all of the servers in the farm.
This may interfere with efficient switchover and / or failover to standby server(s).
A primary service may include a service which, if configured and then left offline (even if there is another instance of the service online in the farm), may cause complication within the server farm.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]FIG. 1 illustrates a system 10 configured to provide a suite of network-based services to users with high availability. The suite of network-based services may include browser-based collaboration functions, process management functions, index functions, search functions, help search functions, document-management functions, and / or other functions. The suite of network-based services may correspond to services provided by a server application such as Microsoft® SharePoint™ being executed on one or more processors of one or more servers. As used herein, the term “high availability” may refer a system design protocol that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity during a given measurement period. In some implementations, system 10 may include a first online server 12, a second online server 14, a third online server 16, a standby server 18, and / or other components.

[0018]The system 10 may leverage one or more external information sources 20. Users may interface with syst...

Abstract

A system is configured to provide a suite of network-based services to users with high availability. The suite of network-based services may include browser-based collaboration functions, process management functions, index functions, search functions, help search functions, document-management functions, and / or other functions. The suite of network-based services may correspond to services provided by a server application such as Microsoft® SharePoint™ being executed on one or more processors of one or more servers. As used herein, the term “high availability” may refer a system design protocol that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity during a given measurement period.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to providing network-based services to users with high availability, and, in particular, to providing Microsoft® SharePoint™ services.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Microsoft® SharePoint™ may be a rich enterprise server application that provides full content management features, implement business processes, and / or provide access to information related to organizational goals and / or processes.[0003]High availability may be a system design protocol that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity. Conventional configurations of Microsoft® SharePoint™ may be challenged to meet high availability standards for a variety of reasons. For example, conventional configurations of servers providing redundancy involve a one-to-one standby server to online server set up that is costly in terms of hardware, bandwidth, and / or other resources. As another example, a server farm configuration database for a server farm serving the server app...
